Today's trade is in a biotech stock. And the word "biotech" should cue thoughts of "risky" and "volatile."

And this trade is no exception. So I'm going to get creative, utilizing a spread to lower my cost of participation, define my...

One of the best parts about building a trading community isn’t just sharing my own ideas—it’s seeing others take those ideas and make them even better.

Case in point: Yesterday, I closed out a call calendar spread in $AVGO for a solid win. The...

Every chart we analyze, every trade...

If I had to trade just one setup for the rest of my career—only one—it would be this:

That’s it.

Clean. Pure. Effective.

Sure, there would be...

With the markets starting to act a bit more “normal” again—whatever that even means anymore—I’ve been feeling more willing to put some risk on.

And when I say “put some risk on,” I don’t mean getting reckless. I mean firing my favorite...

With Bitcoin holding high in the 107-108K neighborhood, above last year's resistance, it feels like the stage is being set for another crypto bull. Not just for bitcoin, but for many of the so-called "alt-coins" as well. And today's trade is in the...

I first cut my teeth as a high-volume, intra-day stock trader.

My earliest trading lessons came from staring at charts, watching price levels, and learning (often the hard way) how momentum behaves. I became obsessed with breakouts, pullbacks,...

This past week, I sat down for an interview with the author of Options Trading for Dummies, Joe Duarte, and my friend Jason Perz. We covered a wide range of topics geared toward helping newer traders get more comfortable with options. But...

The banking sector in Canada is vastly different than the U.S. For one thing, there are far fewer of them! And there's really only a handful that matter.

One of those that matters is currently doing something that matters -- it's breaking out to...

It's been awhile since I've talked about one of my favorite setups: The Hundred-Dolla-Roll!

Stocks that are making fresh-all time highs above $80 per share tend to run to $100. Not all in one day. But the tractor beam,...

Like the rest of the All Star Charts team, I spent last week in New Orleans. It was hot. It was muggy. But the food—oh man, the food—made it all worth it.

I think I hit all the cornerstones of New Orleans cuisine:

Going to keep this post short today. I'm writing live from the Portfolio Accelerator event in New Orleans. Our friend Riley Rosebee is presenting as I'm typing and he is talking about stocks in companies The Jetson's would invest in.

Today, I’m headed to New Orleans for our tri-annual Portfolio Accelerator event.
